On creating a Wikipedia page for Not Possible IRL

1:05pm Update: Please feel FREE to edit the Wikipedia page and make it better. Seriously, signing up to edit on Wikipedia takes a minute, not more. Add, add, add. Delete, delete, delete! This is as much yours as it is mine.

10:30am Update: Dear artists, architects, coders, Machinimators, fashion designers... anyone who creates content in virtual worlds that would not be possible IRL: Please email me the links to any technical journals and websites (NOT BLOGS) that point to and "legitimize" your work, as soon as you possibly can. Have any technical papers been published that describe your work? Please send me all the details, too. The clock is ticking. My email address is: bettinatizzy@gmail.com

I need help, or at least your opinion, please. I'm not completely new to creating articles on Wikipedia, since I've prepared a few for my Real Life clients in the past. I had been thinking that it was time to create one for Not Possible IRL and NPIRL lately, but a conversation that I had today with Jay Newt of Brooklyn is Watching really put a firecracker on it. As I am already working on documentation about the Garden of NPIRL Delights, I figured, "What could be easier?"

I did realize that it was going to be difficult to find Wikipedia references to NPIRL and that I would have to edit some entries in other Wikipedia articles to include a reference to our group and the NPIRL concept... but I hadn't counted on my article being marked for deletion within minutes of my hitting "save this." It's still there for five days at which time they may delete it unless I can somehow convince them that Not Possible IRL is notable and is not about advertising.

I was nowhere near finished, as I still planned to flesh out my mentions about Gazira Babeli and DanCoyote Antonelli and Molotov Alva, and add many more artists and architects, etc. In fact, I don't think I will ever be finished, at the rate you all are producing such astonishing work. I do understand how someone who is not involved with virtual worlds might look at my entry and think it a vanity item, though.

I will dispute this, but do you think I was wrong to post this?

Please don't spam them, even if you think my work/words are legitimate. That would not do. But if you are Wikipedia savvy, and know the ropes, feel free to hop in and have your say, either way. And why aren't more of you on Wikipedia, anyway? Come on folks, it's time to get "official."
